Fashion Week Spring 2010

Yes, you can all be jealous… I still can’t believe it myself but this past September I got to attend Fashion Week in New York. Even just thinking about it makes my eyes light up and my heart begin to race. As a fashion major and just someone who enjoys creatively expressing themselves through the use of fashion and other accessories, attending this event was a dream come true. I honestly never thought that at the age of 20 I would be attending an event where most people have to be in the field for at least ten to fifteen years before they even get the invite, let alone get to go. Through my internship with NaturallyCurly.com I had just three days to prepare for my trip. I flew to NY with only one show confirmed but I figured I could at least explore Manhattan and go to museums if nothing else fell into place. To my surprise, by the end of the trip I had attended five shows, gone back stage to four and personally met some of the most influential people in the fashion world. It was amazing!
